The small letters and numbers on the ricasso of your WZ 28 model bayonet are inspector/inspection marks. Some are stamped openly and others are sometimes found inside ovals, squares,triangles and rectangles. I am unsure if each one represents a specific inspector or a group of inspectors.
I have a WZ 28 in similar condition as yours. Most I have seen are in fair to poor condition. This later model did not hold up well over time in my experience.

In my opinion it is a polished up 1928 model, to my knowledge all of the "mobilization" bayonets were all marked 1939. Looks like a proper scabbard and frog though. The reason someone would market it as a 1939 model is that the 39's bring twice as much.

There is no markers mark on the opposite side of the bayonet.
I have never seen one without the manufacturers name on it. ie: FB RADOM or PERKUN.
It was not for sale just display.
thanks,

A beautiful example of a very late bayonet wz.29 known as "majowy". In may 1939 an order was issued for simplified markings on Radom bayonets.
A complete example quite a find.
